wasted Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Dj is kind of like Harley Quinn to Axl's Bane.When GNR is ashes, only then do you have my permission to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lahey Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) DJ seems like Axl's homie Tommy is second in command Dizzy has been the most loyal member Pitman looks the part Ron has a beard Richard is too cool for the position Frank is not Pirate material Edited August 9, 2013 by Randy Lahey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Del is the tour manager, that kind of qualifies as first mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1989 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 You know it's bad when topics of conversation are about Axl and his seamen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know they aren't exactly needed)Frank is the hired hand (doesn't care what he has to play, he'll play it anyways)Richard is the shy/calm guy, just like IzzyRon is the misfit... will be pissy some days but ends up going with the flow because he has nowhere left to go really. His solo presence would end as soon as he went out of GNR.Del James and Team Brazil are the beggars and hangers...

Guest NGOG Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Who did Axl go see the Rolling Stones with? Dj is what you describe as the First Mate, but only because he's willing to be. I could never see Tommy wanting to hang out with Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRmello77 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think this is kind of a difficult one to pick but i go for DJ as well as he and Axl are tight together but as far as i know Richard and Axl are good friends as well and so long in the band together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl opted to heep the old guard in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer this band without DJ and Pitman though. I actually like Pitman as Pitman, but I'm not sure I like what he adds to GnR musically. Then again, I do think If The World is great. Let's just dump Ashba and see where it goes. Maybe dizzy too. Let Axl do the piano parts in the studio and just get some touring members when and if you need them. Also, I like Frank.

ll_tj1 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not sure who is "best friend" is. Sadly I doubt the guy has one. But I'd have to believe Tommy is his confidant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadcaplaughs Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Which I would say did not rest well with Tommy or Dizzy. From what I've heard from people on Buckethead's team, Tommy and Robin were the only ones in the immediate band who had a problem with Buckethead. But to answer the OP, it is definitely DJ. Dude is the one who knows how little he has to contribute, so he buddies up with Axl. Edited August 9, 2013 by themadcaplaughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
